Frankly, you are much better off figuring out some way to watch it. The first season is, for a lack of better way to put it, simply awesome. Also, got is a very story-arc driven show, as opposed to a situational show. You more or less have to watch every episode to make any sense of it.

I especially warn you against reading any of the wrap-ups posted here, because there are quite a few OMG level story twists that lose a lot of their weigh if you spoil them beforehand.
